In 2004 the figure was $136,000. Based upon that, I estimate the average amount in outstanding mortgages today is not more than $250,000.
In the United States, most home mortgages are not callable. A callable mortgage is a type of loan that allows the lender to demand full repayment of the outstanding balance before the scheduled end of the loan term. However, most traditional home mortgages in the US are structured as fixed-rate or adjustable-rate loans with specific terms and conditions that do not include a callable feature.
As of late 2023, the total outstanding U.S. mortgages are approximately $11 trillion. This figure reflects the cumulative value of residential mortgage loans in the country, which includes both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgages. The mortgage market has seen fluctuations due to interest rate changes and economic conditions, impacting both new loans and existing mortgage balances. For the most accurate and current data, it's advisable to refer to sources like the Federal Reserve or mortgage industry reports.
As of the end of the fourth quarter of 2009, there was approximately $14.3 trillion in outstanding mortgage debt outstanding. Of the $14.3 trillion, $2.5 represented non-residential debt, leaving $11.8 trillion due to residential owners. At the end of 2009, there were approximately 129.9 million housing units in the United States of which 66.2% were owned by the people living in them. Of this 86.0 million housing units, approximately 20% own their homes "free and clear" (except, of course, for property taxes), suggesting that there are approximately 68.8 million housing units with debt underlying the ownership. The average mortgage balance, then, is just short of $172,000 (and, evidently 10% of the population have mortgages outstanding of over $250,000).
Information about mortgages in the US can be found on Money Supermarket, Money Matters, U.S. Bank, Bank Rate, American Mortgages, CNBC and Milken Institute.
